Retire Happy

Retirement is often called the "golden years," but very few people are handed a map for how to actually get there. This guide walks through six chapters using real, current numbers, not guesses, so you can see where your own plan stands.

• 01 What "happy" actually looks like once the paycheck stops, and how to define your own version of it before you build a plan around someone else's
• 02 Why 65 percent of workers say preparing for retirement feels stressful, and the planning step that changes that
• 03 The real cost of healthcare in retirement (the average 65-year-old spends $172,500) and how people fund it
• 04 The five biggest risks to a retirement plan, from market volatility to inflation to outliving your savings
• 05 Why working with a financial professional has been shown to improve outcomes, not just add a fee
